I am crying while listening to this and I am a Christian woman who has never been abused.
I see that in communities in which the leaders are seen as the ultimate and unquestionable authority (Christian, Jewish, others), there is a strong tendency to deny that those authorities can be abusers, or have any serious flaws. But no matter how wise, how esteemed, how learned, these are human beings who have shameful thoughts and do shameful deeds. No human being belongs on a pedestal. There needs to be due process, and the secular authorities are far from perfect, but the abused must not become the accused, and the abusers need to be brought to criminal justice.
Greatest respect for the victims, survivors, and leaders who are fighting for justice.
watching with tears in my eyes. I wish he was my rabbi
This is one of the most intelligent speeches on abuse ever spoken!
I left the Orthodox community (Hassidic) nine years ago, after I found out that my sister has suffered severe abuse from a family member.
When I turned to my Mashgiach ruchani
in a very important yeshiva, in Bnei Brak, he told me not to broach the subject in any forum ever.
I left because I was not able to be part of a community that allows such murderer to Be Shaliach Tzibur.
Thank you, on behalf of my little sister, and lots of other little sisters
israeldov1988 so sorry to hear. May HaShem give her strength, and peace!
Did you go to the police? Is this man still in a position where he can hurt and abuse others? I am so sorry about your sister. Xx
A real Rabbi!
We need to do what we can to heal our brothers and sisters, and stop the abuse to begin with. We have a responsibility to each other.
Lets be the good, holy people that we are meant to be, Shana Tovah
"דברים היוצאים מן הלב - נכנסים אל הלב" !!! Thank you so much dear Rabbi Jacobson
One of the most powerful shiur / speech i have ever heard, watch, heal and change your way for ever with Rabbi YY Jacobson!
I'm 2 years late but as a survivor I must admit it brought me into tears, it's very powerful
Stunning and insightful. Thank you for creating meaningful content on the subject of abuse, especially as it relates to our community.
What a delightful Rabbi. Excellent delivery.
I am not Jewish, I am a Human being created by Hashem and I know about those abuses in Jewish communities and I have been praying to Elohim to stop innocent girls and boys from being abused. I also pray that Elohim shows both of them that they matter because I am a mother and I don't see kids as Countries or colors or ethnicities or religions or levels of status. I see them as blessings that Hashem has given for our lives.
awesome job!
G-d bless this Rabbi.

Shvarim is the broken sound of blowing the shofar. The root of that Hebrew word is lishbor, to break. I think the Rabbi is referring to hiw broken a person can be when they're abused. It's great to hear a respected & well known rabbi discussing this in clear terms.
as long incest and pedophilia is not expunged out of the torah and the talmud, all condemnation is but hot air.
does anyone know if and where i can find this with hebrew subtitles?
כרגע יש כתוביות. התוכן נשאר רלוונטי לצערי
Nice
איך יש לסירטון הזה כ"כ קצת צפיות??תפיצוו
9:50 Amazing that this unfortunate young man can't bring himself to think of G-d as being merciless. That gives me (at least) no ability to think of G-d as merciless. Thank G-d I didn't have such a situation. But if only someone had understood to teach him when he was little to speak up for himself. OMG we really don't know how many children (& adults) suffer.
Shalom, more people need to speak with such love for abused people. But Elohim does not choose anyone to be abused in anyway, He hates such things which are against His Word. He doesn't take away the freedom of choice from mankind, but He has never chosen such destruction of life and He never would
I would dread being under the authority of a religious man.
Greg Lindstrom we are only under the authority of Gd. Trust in no man
Yeshua is the only way and He taught me there is no mercy without forgiveness, and I have been abused again and again in many ways
This was hard to listen to because he gets all excited about US (whoever that is) failure to prevent any of these things. So long as it's shameful (and it always is) the victim will do what he's been told...not tell the police, not tell a rebbe, and certainly not tell his parents. You can deny that this goes on. It probably does. But you're doing nothing to prevent it. Chag Samach.
And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’ Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'
Get out of here with your Christian nonsense.
Have we known enough pain to admit that since our galut in Babylon there
has been avodah zarah woven into the very fabric of the Judaism that we
practice to the extent that most of us can no longer determine what is
Torat Moshe and what is Babylonian baloney and that that affects every
aspect of who we are - most especially our most intimate levels because
we are not really connecting with HaShem?
Have we matured enough to be able to admit that endemic pedophilia that
has been going on for a very long time does not square with the belief
that Rebbes are perfect Tzaddikim who are Ein Sof B'Guf, all knowing and
who can see who a person is in one glance? Do you love your Children
enough to admit that saying: "Every child is more precious than gold"
doesn't begin to cut it.
Are we prepared for the sake of our Jewish Children to admit that the
grooming starts long before the pedophile comes into the Children's
lives?
It starts in the maternity ward after a baby is born and a mohel comes
in and says: Mazel Tov! Did you have a boy? and you answer joyfully: No!
I had a girl - and the mohel answers: אין דבר.
That it starts with metzitzah at the brit. That it starts with saying
שלא עשני אשה. The "brakhah" is as destructive to the boys that learn to
say it as it is to the girls. The grooming starts with teaching girls to
dress under blankets. The grooming starts with the artificial
separation of boys and girls.
We are learning a "Judaism" that encourages us to be nuts about
sexuality. You make a mishigas out of sexuality from day one - and you
think that's normal, that it's holy - which is the sickest part.
Can we admit that we really don't know the level of holiness of Jewish
females and the fact that Rabbis teach them about their being is a
presumption? You have no idea the level of holiness of the Jewish Female
in real Torah. Admit it. You don't.
Can we admit that men do not have to go to the mikveh every day and that
the unnecessary practice is an invitation to all kinds of problems?
Are we willing, for the sake of our Children, to admit that the Judaism
we practice is highly tainted with Babylonian avodah zarah that is a
fertile ground for unwholesomeness - the worst of which is pedophilia
and the sexual abuse of wives?
We *have to* unravel the fabric of the Judaism we know today and go
through it thread by thread - keeping what is kosher and throwing away
that which is not. And we need to be honest about it.
